Better Than Checking

We’ve designed an account that really is better than checking. It’s designed for that phase of life when you have additional needs, a more complex financial situation, and money in the bank that you want to grow. It’s a NOW account that pays a variable rate of interest (see today’s deposit rates), accrues on daily collected balance, and compounds monthly. It includes everything you receive with our Simply Free Checking but with interest added.

It’s an enhanced version of our Simply Free Checking and offers everything that account does, but we’ve added some features that our better-than-50 customers asked for, such as free specialty checks and Money Orders (two per day) and discounts on Traveler’s Checks and safe deposit box rental.
